Yay my experian credit score is 999

Not that it makes one bit of difference to anything, I have finally received a 999 credit score update with get this, ways to improve my credit score? Incredible how ludicrous the score makers quest for making money is....
suggestions - you have £0 credit card usage, spend more money for the score to do what exactly? go up? no wait go down? 

Anyway, for anyone who thinks these credit scores are actually worth something, please note as this forum says many many times, ignore them, they are useless. This situation just proves that.

There is a satisfaction in seeing these scores increase though. I'm subbed to CreditKarma, Clearscore and MSE CC and been watching them all rise for some years, albeit rather slowly.

Only a satisfaction if you believe the score represents anything. You can get 999 on Experian just by declaring bankruptcy

Why ????? Where's the satisfaction in seeing a meaningless thing change?  I'm struggling to think of a relevant simile   ...  I don't know, perhaps you get pleasure from seeing the newsreader wearing a green tie tonight because he was wearing a yellow one yesterday ?  As the OP says, the scores are completely meaningless, so I fail to see how any satisfaction can be derived from seeing them change.

I got a 618 "Good" on Equifax despite having been bankrupt not long ago and having 17 previous defaults.

Other Half got a 582 "Good" on Equifax, 36 points lower than me, despite never having missed a payment on anything in his entire life.

Go figure. The magical meaningless number generator game continues ....

Yay, mine is 999 as well, and has been for... well, probably forever.

OP, maybe we should start some sort of club?
